What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Lesley University?

Lesley reports several campus safety measures, including around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Availability and procedures may differ by location or hour, so students should learn the instructions for the buildings they use.

Students should save the university's current emergency contact information and review its emergency notifications, reporting procedures, and annual security report. The annual report provides federally required crime disclosures for defined locations and reporting periods; those figures are useful context but cannot capture every personal safety consideration.

Support after sexual misconduct may involve separate confidential resources, reporting channels, and formal complaint procedures. Students who need those services should check Lesley's current Title IX and support information to understand the differences before choosing whom to contact.
